He transported me into a desert all covered with piled up bones; and between these heaps of dead men there were walks of ever-green trees, and at the end of each walk a tall man of august mien, who regarded these sad remains with pity. "Alas! my archangel," said I, "where have you brought me?" "To desolation," he answered.
We will go out to my ever-green bower, my sacred holly-tree yonder, and have it fronde super viridi. Sing heigh-ho! heigh-ho! for the green holly, Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly. But, egad," continued the old gentleman, "when I look closer at you, I begin to think you may be of a different opinion.
The Almond-Pine serves for Masts very well. As for the Dwarf-Pine, it is for Shew alone, being an Ever-green, as they all are. The first is that which we call the common white Hiccory. It is not a durable Wood; for if cut down, and exposed to the Weather, it will be quite rotten, and spoil'd in three Years; as will likewise the Beech of this Country.
She stood on a great boulder and sang: 'The breaking waves dashed high On a stern and rock-bound coast' and, oh! she was splendid! Then Patty was Pocahontas and I was Cap'n John Smith, and look, we are all dressed up for the Indian wedding!" Waitstill had on a crown of white birch bark and her braid of hair, twined with running ever-green, fell to her waist.
I also must thank Edward Saunders, who for the second time has greatly helped me in preparing an Expedition record for publication. To the Dominion Government I tender my warmest thanks.

A vast extent of country lay all about him open flat bogs and timber islands, and on far ahead was a long, dark mass of solid ever-green surely the forest he sought. Between him and it he saw water sparkling. "Oh, Pete, you ought to be up here," he shouted joyfully; "it's worth the climb to see this view." "I'd rather see our own back-yard," grumbled Pete.
It gives this house an immense and an ever-green interest to me to see character after character coming trooping in, Sabbath evening after Sabbath evening, each man to see himself and his neighbour in John Bunyan's so truthful and so fearless glass.

The 4th of May we were ascending a gentle slope towards the important village of Rehenneko, the first village near to which we encamped in Usagara. It lay at the foot of the mountain, and its plenitude and mountain air promised us comfort and health.
"Ah!" said she, "Thou art the most perfect monk that ever dwelt in this blessed and amorous town of Constance. Ah, ah! Come my gentle cavalier, my dear boy, my little charm, my paradise of delectation, let me drink thine eyes, eat thee, kill thee with my love. Oh! my ever-flourishing, ever-green, sempiternal god; from a little monk I would make a king, emperor, pope, and happier than either.
